Five-time Grammy Award winner, arts/health advocate and author Renée Fleming recently visited the CU Anschutz Medical Campus to explore the power of music as it relates to health and the brain in her presentation “Music and Mind” – based on her book of the same name. This was the CU Center for Bioethics and Humanities’ second time hosting Fleming as part of the Arts and Humanities in Healthcare Program directed by Katie Rhine, PhD, MA. They were joined by collaborators from CU Boulder's CU Presents, the CU Boulder College of Music and the CU Denver College of Arts and Music. Fleming also performed at CU Boulder’s Macky Auditorium.
The Board of Regents last week began considering budget scenarios for the 2025-26 fiscal year, including possible increases in state funding, tuition and fees, and compensation. Chad Marturano, vice president and chief financial officer for the CU system, presented the budget proposals during the second day of the board’s Feb. 6-7 meeting at CU Boulder. Details varied among three scenarios, differing based on potential variations in state funding, tuition and fees, and compensation.
